Handling that pandemic so we are getting were getting mixed reactions in the street. Here as President Donald Trump has formally accepted the republican partys nomination for a 2nd time he says novembers election will be a choice because you see even the American Dream or loving a socialist agenda to destroy its. The Democratic National Convention Joe Biden and his party repeatedly assailed america as a land of racial economic and social injustice. So tonight i ask you a simple question how can the Democrat Party ask to lead our country when it spends so much time tearing down our country. They do not see america as the most free just an exceptional nation and instead they see a wicked day shouldn that must be punished for its sins our opponents say that redemption for you can only come from giving power to them germanys chancellor Angela Merkel has demanded that bella who says so francine be respected in the Foreign Ministers way possible sanctions over a crackdown on protesters michael is pushing for dialogue is the best way forward she made the comments as ministers meeting in peril and discussed aid tell us with bella mrs main regional ally russia the west african bloc echo us is holding a new round of talks on mali after quddus freed i said president abraham who cater from the tension echo us as urge the immediate return to civilian rule who does want the next election to be held in 3 years time.

Well thats up to date the news continues after partition or just all floods up next. August on a claim the front photo of british pop as mr jinnah governor general of the new dominion arrives of a constituent assembly in karachi. August 947. A century of british rule over its indian empire comes to an end guest of honor in the muslim capital while older laid him out of bed carrying out one of our loves by his regal guilt is the fall the partition of india took effect. The new nation of pakistan is cool. Meanwhile in delhi the stage was set for all british role to give place to the dominion of india. A day later across a newly drawn border leaders celebrate the birth of the republic of india. Freed from colonial rule the creation of these 2 countries completes a long struggle for independence and here is the door. We believe that it will be good to me. And now im calm and then been shown to be my big. Foot even before the celebrations are over chaos erupts. Panic and fear sets in as neighbor turns on neighbor unleashing mass violence. Millions leave their homes. The celebrations were or was marred by the blood they took place against the backdrop of perfect violence. And. People who a year before we tended to each others wedding parties and each other raping each others daughters roasting each others babies on the spit. With human passions are unleashed. None of us can can foresee what could happen. While historians recount the horrors of the past for those who lived through them its like yesterday. Were going to or have been lucky though when the yardbirds or tower monday will monitor. The 86 year old Joginder Singh called it was a young teenager in india at the time. 70 years on he still remembers how muslims hindus and sikhs turn on each other. Or when they walk you know one if you would go if you. Leave rated movie. With the word in the out. Of a guy. Like that of the moon. Or when the world was he would want to go to. The locus of. The world would you have a walkover of the organ. Or the. Overthrow of. Who would who are. We would. Go for. Or who would give a little who would go. On the other side of the border in pakistan the memories are just as strong in 1907 saladin colleagues family were muslims in india hes never forgotten how he escaped the killing but others didnt. He was staying in our house on 6 september 19th 476 oclock when my mother was saying a spear i heard a shriek cowing somebody. I turned and i saw a stick with the sword in the hand coming in my sisters wedding and. Was the enter the. Room of my mother killed her and they ran. Toward us this is the house. Saladin fled his home in fear of his life when he returned the horror lay in front of him when i enter the house it was just like they are the generals nothing sort of holds. Then you see your own mother. Drenched in blood. And stomach open then starting coming up. How did it all come to this. Many point the finger at indias then colonial masters. When britain ruled india it was the jewel living empires crown plundered for its natural resources. But in the devastating aftermath of world war 2 britain had its own problems on the home front. Was returned with renewed fighting and a recent opinion in the country and bankrupted itself fighting itself to death of the nazis. And so british Authorities Say that it was the exhaustion of them power and the bankruptcy of the mother country that led to the realization that the simply no way the british could keep this enormous empire in chains the moment to come to go head back home to a land of rationing drugs or low light and leave the exotic plagues of india behind. After decades of crushing any Movement Towards Indian Independence postwar britain had not had the will or the might to fold on to its common. There was massive demonstrations across india. And there was. An awareness that the leaders the film struggle could call strikes and protests which would paralyze the country. Seizing the moment of british weakness 3 leaders spearheaded the push for independence. You are allowed nehru Mohammad Ali Jinnah and 100 gandhi. At 1st they shared the goal of a free and united india one country one people regardless of religion. Thousands of national pride. The great time to hear the message of gandhi leader of the demands for indias independence. Was mark my god you mobilize the masses who gave them the language of things like civil disobedience and nonviolence who spoke of the national the struggle is a struggle for truth he gave it a strong modernistic fervor and he completely inspired the masses to rise up behind him or gandhi himself a lifelong preacher of nonviolence and gandhi when tom fairly quickly to establish himself as the spiritual leader of the Indian National congress led freedom struggle. The Indian National congress was a Political Party made up of the elite of hindu and muslim society. It had been pushing for self rule since the turn of the 20th century. With gandhis mobilization of the masses the party transformed into a populist movement and attracted new leaders with new ambitions men like to warlow ni route never was very attracted to my gandhi and gandhi was very impressed with him and he was gone these handpicked provision to lead the the sort of Political Party the National Movement gandhi himself never took any political position didnt want one and nearly everything from leading the Indian National congress as one of its youngest ever president s to becoming eventually the 1st Prime Minister of independent india mr nader presided over the 1st Cabinet Meeting both nehru and gandhi were hindus but the 3rd member of the influential trio was a Muslim Mohammed ali jinnah one of the legion or was an extremely interesting man educated very anglo file in fact culturally far more on your file than the new the nehru of gandhi over his dressed in western clothes had western habits and enjoyed his scotch and. And his source of yours and his ham sandwiches he wasnt particularly strongly Observant Muslim and a man who was hailed. As the ambassador of hindu muslim unity. A lawyer jinnah began his political life within the hindu dominated Indian National congress. Later on he also joined the muslim me a group protecting the Muslim Minority. Both parties were fighting for an independent india which at the time was ginas ultimate goal jinnah in strongly opposed to the idea of a separate muslim nation and indeed he is saying this is british divide and rule they want us to be divided weve got to stand together weve got to fight for our freedom if we dont fight for our freedom to get that we will never be free but he increasingly gets sidelined by a new Younger Generation of leadership among whom particularly there is there is no room who is his nemesis handed now who calls for an indian republic is accused by the league of working for domination over the Muslim Minority but are making everyone with britains grip on india weakening nehru and the Indian National congress grew in power nehru wanted a new india to have a strong Central Government run by his party this alarmed general who argued muslim majority regions should govern themselves. It was a losing battle you know realized that given the imbalance in Political Support between the league and the congress the only way the league was ever going to actually come to any significant power was by advocating a separatist plan. Thousands of kilometers away in London Records revealed deeper insights into the fall out between geno any room and this is one of the repository of which the number. At the National Archives private letters jinnah sent to british officials shows a relationship beyond repair at this point is extremely suspicious of the congress and he feels assets propose it would be prepared to seize power by force that the may have been infiltrated the Indian National army. And that he regrets thats the Muslim League havent organized in the same way so were talking a serious mistrust of this but yet i think this in the Case Complete breakdown in trust between between the 2 policies and the and the you know its the leadership of those policies new delhi and although the scene looks quite jeana any route had 1st come together to fight the british now they were fighting each other the servant is against the Muslim League to reach the end of life by 946 any hope of a united india had evaporated order with god but i believe the service enmity between muslim and him the breakdown at the top of the indian politics was mirrored on the streets as tension spilled over into violence. Chaos erupted in major cities 1st because of a grim audio post by british an indian probe during the worst drought in the history of calcutta. Road vantec in many places higher pitched battles continued between muslims and windows for muslims the fear of being ruled by hindus convinced them they needed their own separate nation. Even jr the men once hailed as the symbol of hindu muslim unity now demanded an independent pakistan. After a sentry a british power in india the empires was finally forced. Charged with overseeing the withdrawal was a decorated while officer one who would go down in infamy. Now battered. New delhi airfield and the arrival of the viceroy designate mo batten is a sort of vaguely comic character looking back. Prancing peacock who loved his roads and costumes and loved to appear as the viceroy not particularly. A man of some christmas. Of great sort of personal selfworth he was received i think he you know whatever little homework he did was fairly modest and when he got to india i think it was a crash course he started meeting the various leaders had his own likes and dislikes inevitably but very quickly decided that this thing had to be this hot potato had to be dropped as quickly as possible and mr byrd his hands and those of his or those of his masters as his in the english government lauder led him on battle have taken that this is on the grounds that and became viceroy of india in march 947 britain had originally planned to leave india more than a year later in june 1988 but mountbatten wasnt going to wait that long monbiot misheard to accelerated even faster partly because he found his control on the control of the british soldiers over india slipping and so here turner it to august 15th 947 and with that headlong rush into disaster happened with the british unable and unwilling to prevent some of the horrors that were unfolding before their very eyes horrors unleashed by hastily drawn lines on a map the north west state of punjab was home to hindus sikhs but mostly muslims it was split with one side forming the bulk of pakistan in the northeast of india the state of bengal was cut into the predominantly muslim eastern half made up another part of pakistan separated by nearly 2000 kilometers of indian territory it would eventually become the independent country of bangladesh was a well thought i was ill thought out. When the british had to draw a line they pulled in the Civil Servant who had never been to india before and was sitting in his cots well garden when he was told that he had fly next week to india and divide the country into. And no one was pleased with the line he drew inevitably. The stage was set for british road again in august 1907 as the flags of india and pakistan were raised ordinary citizens were left in the dark as to what this meant for them. On that day of partition in august that show boundary hadnt been unsuccessful the know where they were in india or pakistan where they could stay where they lived for centuries where theyd have to move and its only after the people tune into their ideas to hear whether they will now be part of pakistan or india everyone. Suddenly people found themselves on the wrong side of a new border muslims in india are hindus and sikhs in pakistan. There had been ethnic fighting between muslims hindus and sikhs before the partition set off an unimaginable massacre out of the hordes on fires like the blitz the the villages are all burning hayricks are on the platforms to literally wash with blood because a 100 of the hindus waiting on the platform to travel to india to be massacred on another platform was covered with blood because the training just arrived from india full of dead muslims. Total. In the rural areas hideous scenes of pregnant women lying with their bellies ripped open the babies literally rested on the beds and journalists in 94 to 7 who had covered the opening of the nazi concentration camp there were 2 or 3 journalists who had covered that and then they ended up covering partition and they said that they saw more gruesome things in the punjab punches side than they ever did in the concentration camps muggle born white the photographer writes a graphic description and she says yeah i saw a shit but what i saw in the punjab was a 1000000 times. At the time the british estimated 200000 died in the violence the consensus today among most historians is that the death toll was at least a 1000000 and the british had lost control long before partition and that became clearly evident and visible in 947 but in a way more terrible than anyone had ever expected. It was a complete and utter mess total mirth. Some suggest that britain was aware of the impending horrors that would come with dividing up the indian subcontinent it was a mess made worse by britain abandoning its colonies so quickly in the stockmen which is which is a telegram from the Foreign Office to its evidence in the National Archives suggests british leaders knew months before that Ethnic Violence was spiraling dangerously out of control over 10000 persons have been killed and many more injured over the last 6 months of the Previous Year had been extensive communal violence so we actually use the words civil war yes yes they mention here. Widespread recrudescence a man single most an organized and spontaneous civil war. The british were pretty much aware well through the fortys that the communities were arming but they didnt want to get involved and what they regarded as the subcontinent pretty arctic descent into a communal frenzy gandhi famously goes on Hunger Strike begging for peace and there was weeping and broken but. There. Where a cutting into your regular programming to take you live knights of berlin where the European Unions Foreign Policy chief tools a barrel and the German Foreign minister hyper mass holding a joint press conference and 2nd day of talks by Foreign Ministers in the german capital lets listen and that with and see to condemn the violent repression of the bill of russian people and. We asked to do is to engage in any unclassified dialogue to move to the crisis important simply in concrete terms this 1st bill is being a member of the see if we think the dosey chairman is enough face proposal to visit and facilitate a dialogue should be a step by the authorities and as European Union we should pour these in any way we can there was a political agreement among ministers to designate selected individuals responsible for their fraudulent elections in their rules and for the subsequent crackdown on that exist in girlish sanction regime this does the nation showing kluge individuals at the high political level. From now on to the day least and the respective illegal acts will be prepared by the combating Cancer Working Group in the coming days with a view to be edited as soon as possible and with respect to that i just received by 11 members of the council asking to do it as soon as possible pressing for a quick decision. Making but we have to do that according with all the legal procedures. And finally we bush for National Dialogue that is only way to. To see democracy and from the mental freedoms respected embarrass. Anisa mediterranean and turkey he also had a good discussion we had korea and determine in defending European Union interest and surely that it would release in cyprus turkey has to abstain from unilateral actions this is a basic element to allow the dialogue to advance but we want to find path towards a healthier relationship in the mood to interest both the libyan union and turkey for this reason we mosque walk a fine line between preserving had to space for the look and at the same time showing collectivists transit in the defense of our common interests we want to give a serious chance to dialogue. And i really much appreciate and think the efforts employed by germany in these at the local solutions for solutions through the dialogue between turkey and greece and cyprus. I had representative tried to create a space for negotiations on all issues of our complex and difficult relations with turkey it is equally clear that there is a growing frustration in the face of turkish behavior and that the consolations press a political consensus to ask the Relevant Council working groups to speed up their work you know to add individuals suggested by snipers to the list of the existent regime for illegal drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean with a view of rapid adoption. And finally we also agree that in the absence of progress in cage in turkey we could develop a list of further restrictive measures that could be discuss a dupion council in the next 24th of september thank you haggle your feedback and had this will come. Out of my. Present conference on the commission reference. It. Must come via. The closed internazionale conference given. Resides. For that were struggling to connect with our translator but we have just been hearing from your role the. Foreign policy chief. Currently speaking right now is the German Foreign minister. No just say. Just to give a brief round up of what weve been hearing in the last couple of minutes there have been 2 major points that just broke was keen to stress there has been agreement on the 2 machines that have been concerning this meeting thats to say bellerose and the tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean with both of those pressing issues the e. U. Is strongly calling for dialogue as a way of the tensions lets go live now to our correspondents in berlin we have been dominic cain has been listening in to this press conference dominic that press conference is still going on of course but we have heard some statements there regarding the tensions and deloris but also the tensions in the east Eastern Mediterranean what should we take away from the opening remarks in this press conference. Very interesting remarks from your support al the e. U. High representative as you say touching on those 2 areas of real contention right now on the eastern and the south eastern borders of the European Union so far as the Eastern Mediterranean is concerned expressions of solidarity by mr burrel for the e. U. States of greece and cyprus and saying that the e. U. Has to show solidarity and has to respect the the needs of those countries and also calling on all sides in this this tension that has blown up this brood up between the greeks the cypriots and the turks calling for all sides to to realize a dialogue is the way forward he was he was thankful he was grateful to have come out standing alongside him remember i could muster over the course of the last couple of days 3 or 4 days has been in both relevant capitals ankara and athens with that ministerial mantra that mood music talk to each other deescalate dont have these live fire drills of your navies dont extend the length of time that your boats are surveying the waters off your coast lines looking for those rich petrochemical finds that have been the cause of this this issue going up in the 1st place very clear from mr burrell in terms of the Eastern Mediterranean that he was going through the ideas what might happen but he didnt talk about sanctions there have been some countries Foreign Ministers over the course of the last 48 hours who had talked about the idea of maybe that the e. U. Should be drawing up a list of sanctions it might consider to impose on no mention of that here instead you had a rather oh bleak reference from mr barr to what might come at a later date there is summits to take place in brussels he was talking about at the end of september so in 3 or 4 weeks time where they can revisit this. Other measures may be considered may be adopted he said but clearly theyre pulling back from the brink of sanctions right now while still expressing clear solidarity with the Member States of the e. U. Who are in the Eastern Mediterranean area and then in so far as concerned targeted sanctions were what he was talking about there targeted at certain leading individuals inside the government of belarus and others connected with the government of belarus and again an expression of solidarity from mr burrell as is the high representative of the e. U. With the people of belarus and again that idea of the transition from the government of president look. To a different an alternative government which was more in tune with the democratic aspirations of the people of belarus so very clearly these issues have dominated this meeting these meetings that have been taking place over the past couple of days and indeed that took place on wednesday when the used defense ministers were meeting here in berlin and its pretty clear that the e. U. Is trying to show that it stands foursquare behind the movements for democracy and human rights in belarus it has they does stand behind the movements of democracy weve been hearing that in that press conference as said is just a line popping up one of the News Agencies well it is reporting that theyre looking at gradual sanctions against individuals in belo routes but that the ag is saying that were getting much stronger rhetoric coming from the other side of belarus from russia who appears to be prepared to take even heavier action so how far is the e. U. Prepared to go to supports the democracy movements in the people off deloris because we always hear this from the e. U. That some are willing for dialogue a willing for talk but if the pressure gets ramps up from russia and from the shank what other options are left see the European Union. The thing to remember here is that the European Union does not have a military role of its own and so it cant really make threats as it were it cant exercise hard power in the kind of way theres an another institution another organization might be able to for instance nato it doesnt have that role and instead its economic power and it is that which is would which other levers that it can pull as it were and the interesting thing not just at this News Conference that weve been listening into but in previous News Conferences that have taken place so far today specifically one that took place in the last couple of hours where Angela Merkel the german chancellor speaking to the worlds media for about an hour and a half and fielding questions on a whole range of different issues but in so far as b. L. Arrests was concerned and not just below us but also the other regional countries of power specifically by that she means the Russian Federation shes calling for restraint and she has called on on president Putin Vladimir putin to show restraint and that she hopes that Russian Forces of any kind whether they be Police Forces as has been asked for by president look in. Or whether it be any other kind of armed force going to machall says she hopes that that no russians will find themselves deployed in any of those forces in belarus shes also said that everyone must respect the sovereignty of belarus remember that the government and generous president lukashenko has said that he believes that nato is building up forces on the borders that it has with his country with the other us and that means the Baltic States and poland now that nato has said that that is not the case that isnt absolutely not the case we heard yesterday from the secretary general of nato u. N. Start. He ruled that out completely and certain know what nato is interest was in peace was insecurity but also in recognizing the aspirations of the belarusian people and that was the thing that must be must be safeguarded so you have going over the course of this of today but also of the course of this week over the last few days weve heard from a range of different politicians from Different Countries from different institutions and their mantra has been relatively similar which is transition from the government of president to something more peaceful but something more democratic the point though is they in themselves the European Union itself can only exercise a kind of economic power it cannot exercise military power ok dominic kane there joining us live from baron lane thank you very much indeed for that dominic for viewers just joining us now we have been listening in see that press conference between the European Unions Foreign Policy chief joseph turow and the German Foreign minister heiko mass they are encouraging dialogue in the to. See flashpoints really that have been dominating the Foreign Policy meetings over the last couple of days theyve been talking about the difficulties in belarus and in the Eastern Mediterranean lets doesnt back in and see whats being added to that discussion what can we do. In general terms 1st you know that now we listing personalities we cant pass 2 least assets shapes we can too. Sanctions the participation of activities that we could see the illegal manged everything related with their working on this kind of. Banding and prohibiting their use of it would be on boards it would be an capacities to knowledge a supply we can go to the financial needed for this kind of considered illegal activities have everything related was the problem itself and then we can go to measures related with sectorial activities. On the fields in which. Doctors economy related with the european economy. And thats but what we can do but in general terms of brutal saying is to focus. On the everything related with the activities that we can see the legal by the time being all of the persons but there are a lot of economic infrastructure a lot of economic and financial things related with these activities and this should be the 1st things to be targeted before thinking on a broader approach in a sector of the interview. Ok so theyre taking questions know. That special press conference there between the top diplomats and the German Foreign minister both very strong in their condemnation of the unrest in bellerose and of course the e. U. Has of course insisted that there should be dialogue they condemn the violent repression against the people of bellerose they are preparing to announce more sanctions very gradual sanctions against. Ricin balance in leadership and theyve also touched on the tensions of course in the Eastern Mediterranean which has also been a concern in the e. U. Foreign ministers over the last few days they both expressed frustration with turkeys behavior as they put it and they have insisted they will defend the interests that means standing by greece and cyprus but once again they have underlines the importance of dialogue in order to defuse those tensions we will of course be touching on the story more in the coming hours but lets say a bring you some other news that has been happening this for a day turning now to the resignation of japans Prime Minister shinzo i. V. The 65 year old has long been suffering from all sorts of lights this as a about all disease is of course the countrys longest serving leader priyanka has more on his time as Prime Minister a chronic illness that cut short his 1st term in office 30 years ago has come back to force shinzo of a japans longest serving Prime Minister to step down this employing of america.

Album is that what became known as the nomics was a series of the bishops reforms aimed at boosting japan Strong Economy his vision of a well the stronger japan came with a lifelong ambition to amend the countrys pacifist constitution which bars it from hostile acts except in selfdefense many japanese opposes constitutional changes but he did manage to repeatedly win elections as a result of the stability that he brought the fact that hes won 6 National Elections and basically been unopposed and really has shown no sign of losing his power really up until now it is in his year that japan has been well governed has been predictably and consistently govern for that period and he has managed to translate that into a much more visible role for japan in asia and globally be strained in security entry ties with the u.

Handling that pandemic so we are getting were getting mixed reactions in the street. Here as President Donald Trump has formally accepted the republican partys nomination for a 2nd term he says novembers election will be a choice between saving the American Dream or allowing a socialist agenda to destroy its White House Correspondent Kimberly Hawk it has more. Never in modern history has a sitting President Campaign from the white house a political symbol that supposed to be for all americans i profoundly xx. Cept this nomination for president of the united states. To buy but donald trump has again broken with precedent as he accepted the republican partys nomination and attacked his democratic rival joe biden this is the most important election in the history of our country. I spoke for more than an hour painting at apocalyptic picture of a biden presidency he told voters his opponent was campaigning as a democrat but would assure in an ideology much further left than any other liberal candidate your vote will decide whether we protect law abiding americans or whether we give free rein to violent and arcas and agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens trump how did what he saw as some of his administration successes in Foreign Policy i could not sit by. As career politicians let other countries take advantage of us on trade borders Foreign Policy and National Defense a domestic policy even as trungpa scored low marks from American Voters for his Pandemic Response with more than 180000 americans dead trump argued biden will not make things better instead of following the science joe biden wants to inflict a painful shutdown on the entire country whose shutdown would inflict unthinkable and lasting harm on our nations children families and citizens of all backgrounds as he spoke with more than a 1000 guests most of them not wearing a mask sat shoulder to shoulder ignoring the white houses own social distancing guidelines earlier in the day democratic Vice President ial nominee Camila Harris hit back charging trying didnt do enough in the early days of the pandemic to protect americans all we needed was a competent president one who was willing to listen willing to lead take responsibility have a plan do their job to. Paris also accused trump of stoking racial divisions absent from trumps speech was any mention of jacob blake the man shot in the back last weekend of wisconsin by a white Police Officer even though the incident has caused nights of protests and the shutdown of the countrys biggest sports leagues and in true trump fashion his speech and the convention ended literally with a bang. But in an attempt to drown out the festivities protesters marched through the streets around the white house demanding justice and vowing to do all they could to prevent trumps reelection. But donald trump is undeterred by the push back in an effort to build momentum following his acceptance speech hes a made it lee hitting the campaign trail on friday hell travel to the u. S. State of New Hampshire to hold his 1st political rally since the republican National Convention cant really help that al jazeera the white house thousands of protesters are expected to turn out its on friday for a socalled march on washington to protest against the treatments of black people by the police now this follows days of often violent rallies in the city of commotion in wisconsin the police show. Jacob lake but theres a nice was relatively quiet sus john hendren reports. Kenosha is still hunkered down boarded up and reeling from days of flaming buildings and anger in the streets. Hundreds of police in riot gear patrolling military vehicles as protesters defy nightly curfews but there are signs of progress many buildings remain shuttered but residents here are beautifying what they can often with a message i am just a small bit trying to help and make our city just a little bit less of a. Boarded up war zone its just and it feels good makes me feel good to do it. Since hundreds of police and federal troops descended on recent days thursday arrived with little overnight Damage Police apparently controlling the streets fully for the 1st time since the protests began. That pause in violence follows a bloody tuesday as an militia member fired on protesters killing 2 and wounding one then walking past police without incident i mean. On wednesday police did charge 17 year old kyle britton those shown earlier that day explaining why he came armed with murders. Is there somebody running into harms way thats why am i the. Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson called for charges to be filed against the officers involved in blake shooting. The movie move quickly. Remove the justice work for the people people tend to view the protests through a political lens and what you see depends on where you stand and for couple of hairs the black and indian democratic Vice President ial candidate what happened here reveals a nation with a lot of work to do on criminal justice she lists a litany of names of africanamericans who died at the hands of Police People are rightfully angry and exhausted and after the murders of brianna and george and and so many others its no wonder people are taking to the streets and i support them but for President Donald Trump who declined to say jacob blakes name the protests show the need for more police power we called up the National Guard we sent it out and they did a fantasy jobless that we had virtually no incident.
